[FX.php List] Exploding the carriage returns within a Filemaker field

Howdy,
I am trying to use the explode() function to get the return-separated values
within a Filemaker field into an array. I¹ll then do a foreach() on the
array to display the values. I seem to be unable to get the delimiter
character correct. The syntax explode("\r",$fieldcontents) does not work,
yielding an array of only one element with all the values and their return
characters. "\r\n" and "\n\r" are no better. Can anyone suggest what's going
wrong here?

Code:
$FMvariable = $Data['FMfieldName'][0];
$FMarray = explode("\r",$FMvariable);

echo '<pre>';
echo print_r($FMarray);
echo '</pre>';

Result:

Array
(
    [0] => Board Volunteer Recruitment
staff recruitment
accessibility
other
)
1

In the above, what I want is for "Board Volunteer Recruitment" to be one
element, "staff recruitment" to be another element, "accessibility" a third,
and "other" a fourth.

Thanks,
Gary
